Salade Grec, or Greek Salad, is a vibrant dish originating from Mediterranean cuisine, specifically Greece. It typically features crisp vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and bell peppers, combined with Kalamata olives and creamy cubes of feta cheese. Often, it’s garnished with oregano and dressed simply with olive oil and sometimes lemon juice or vinegar. This salad is packed with nutrients: the fresh vegetables provide vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, while olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Feta cheese adds protein and calcium but may be high in sodium, so portions should be considered for those monitoring salt intake. A quintessential example of the Mediterranean diet, Salade Grec is both flavorful and nutritious, offering a balance between fresh produce and wholesome fats, though its full health benefits depend on dressing quantity and moderation with cheese.
